In Response To: Re: cable drag (Shawn Baker)

: Would biplanes, then, be a whole lot faster theoretically, if they didn't
: have all the cable braces between upper and lower wings?

Depends on what you call a whole lot, but they certainly would be noticeably faster, able to use a smaller engine, able to carry more weight, or all three. Problem is they couldn't be strong enough without making them a lot heavier.
